Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 08/11] scripts/gdb: reject trie-backed stack depot handles
Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2026 14:13:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908-stackdepot-trie-v2-8-1996d5cef732@cloudflare.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908-stackdepot-trie-v2-0-1996d5cef732@cloudflare.com>
From: Caleb Kan <ckan@cloudflare.com>
The lx-stack_depot_lookup command can reconstruct stacks only from
contiguous hash-backed records. A later patch will encode trie-backed
handles as dense stack IDs in pool_index_plus_1 and offset. Without an
explicit check, a trie handle enters the hash-only out-of-bounds path.
Reject pool_index_plus_1 values above stack_max_pools before looking up a
hash pool, and report that trie-backed handles are unsupported. Supporting
them would require the helper to walk the side table and parent links,
which is left for future work.
